I'm not familiar with "extension tubes" but read an article that mentioned
using one.  B&H site shows some for 35mm but doesn't explain what they're for.

the film compartment at the back seems a little melted in some places.

Tamron 24-135 (halfway in price but uses 72mm filters which I do not have)

I went to pick up my developed prints from the local photo shop I
frequent this weekend.  The last 10 frames of negatives on one of
rolls showed a winding scratch accross them.  I asked the photo lab
guy if this was caused by his processing.  He denied it.  First he
